Before & After Photos

This homeowner had a leaky window and barely any sunlight coming into the basement. Not only was the basement dark but it was cold and wet  from the water coming through. Quality 1st Basement Systems replaced the old window and installed a Egress Rockwell with a Sunhouse Shallow Dome lid. By replacing the window, water will no longer be able to come through, keeping the basement dry. Quality 1st was able to allow more natural lighting into the basement and provide the homeowner with an emergency egress to allow a safer exit for anyone living in the basement. 

After hearing about Quality 1st through a magazine, this Warren, NJ homeowner called for a free estimate. The foundation of his home had cracked and was beginning to bow out. System Design Specialist, Kenny T. inspected the foundation and determined that installing Our GeoLock Channel Anchor System would be the best solution. 

On the day of the installation, Victor and his team installed the system to support and stabilize the foundation. First, they dug a small trench in the dirt outside of the foundation. Next, they drilled a hole through the wall to drive the rod into the soil. The rod was then connected to an anchor in the earth and attached to the inside wall plate. Once the wall plate was attached, the soil and sod were replaced and compacted. The last step was to tighten the anchors one last time. 

Once the installation was complete, the foundation was completely stabilized and the homeowner no longer had to worry about their basement walls cracking and bowing anymore. 

After this customer's wet basement issues were resolved, the next step was to clean up the walls. After Design Specialist J.C.Gibriano provided some walling options, the customer decided to have BrightWall Basement Panels installed. Esau Aquino and his crew fastened the washable, waterproof plastic panels to the block basement wall to block out water vapor and prevent mold growth.  

As part of design Specialist Greg Lewis's recommendation, our customers in Warren replaced their old sump pump with a TripleSafe Sump.  with a primary pump, backup pump, and a battery backup it provides total peace of mind.  Installed by Mario and his crew the customer is totally satisfied.

Our customer in Warren was having issues with their basement.  They just wanted to be comfortable that their basement would remain dry.  Design specialist Greg Lewis showed them multiple products including CleanSpace to keep any moisture in the walls out of the living area and run it down to the WaterGuard perimeter drain and out to the sump.  Greg also recommended a FloodRing which ties to the drain and keeps your basement dry in the case of a water heater failure.  Mario and his crew did the install and the work they performed just made the customer even more comfortable that their basement would stay dry.
